What To Do If Your Toilet Backs Up Overnight
When a toilet becomes severely clogged it can back up and cause additional problems. Rarely do these situations happen during regular business hours, and a plumbing emergency of this kind should be remedied right away, which is why we at PlumbingEmergencyColumbus.com make our service available to fix these problems no matter when they may occur.
With a severe clog no water will be able to move freely to and from the toilet bowl and the toilet will then begin to back up behind the clog. In some more extreme instances these backups can even cause bacteria-laden toilet water to back up into the bathtub or a sink and this can cause your family and your home to be exposed to dangerous levels of dirty water.
When a severe clog backs your toilet up it’s always best to call a drain service company right away rather than trying to fix the problem yourself.
We never recommend waiting until morning to have a professional come out to look at and fix the problem as things can grow severe with toilet backups in just a short amount of time. Rather than waiting until business hours, calling an emergency plumber to come to your home and investigate your back-up right away can save you from the dangerous and stressful situation of your backup going into another fixture or eventually causing your toilet bowl to overflow.
One thing we always advise against is trying to unclog and flush the toilet while a backup is present, as this may send more water to an already stressed toilet system.
We never want any home owner or business owner to suffer through a worsening toilet backup, and this is why we make ourselves available after hours to remedy your problem. If you experience a toilet back up in the middle of the night, simply call us right away and we can get started on fixing your problem!
